    First I want to say that I LOVE the name of your RUclips videos! I've always been very fond of Fridays because on Friday nights I got to stay up late and watch Johnny Carson with my dad. You two are living a great life traveling to these interesting places, far away from the troubles of today's society. I sure wish I had that "Make Children Great Again"" paddle! lol. It would be a terrific conversation piece!

    Enjoyed your video as usual. I love back road adventures! The lady you interviewed at Muddy Pond is part of the Guenther Family that is known for making sorghum syrup along with apple pies, cracklings and sausage. I just saw a video this past weekend where her family was interviewed by The Appalachian Channel, you tube video titled: Meet the Guenther's from Muddy Pond. I recognized the gentlemen who is the eldest son as he did demonstrations at Dollywood in the fall on how to make sorghum syrup. You will see the lady that makes the apple pies in one of the videos. I live in Georgia and always look forward to trips to Tennessee.

The burgers and fries are pretty good at the antique diner place.After the diner on 127 there is a huge grassy lot that is full of antique cars, ( not for sale) all makes and models from 50-60, curious if you passed it.? It’s cool. Such quiet peaceful scenery.Enjoyed the vlog👍🏻

    Ok I'm just gonna say it. It's important to ACTUALLY support these local small businesses. Buying one milkshake or one fried hand pie, between 2 people is not what keeps these small stores alive. Don't be so tight, if money is such an issue then maybe you should switch to reviewing Dollar Tree or Walmart. Time it so you are hungry when you visit these country stores or buy some unique items to review. Lead by example.
